Re: Clipped Head Or Round Nailer???


I agree. I understand the benefits and since I drywall as well I can appreciate a perfectly flat and straight wall. But even still, there is nothing like working with wood. I do custom metal fabrication and actually enjoy it a bit more than wood - but that type of steel is thick and solid, not like those thin studs.

I love wood. Quick to cut, room to play with it, super quick to fasten, splinters hurt less that slices of steel, cool in the summer, warm in the winter, bing-bam!

It's up! Plus, it's so much easier to form to uneven surfaces and to incorporate into imperfect existing structures.

And it smells a whole lot better than steel when cut!
